Balderdash??
I watched the '98 World Cup and remember the press reportage. This article reads as though it was written by partisans of Sampson and the National Federation who only fired SS following very loud and persistent public pressure. My memory is: Sampson's name was mud for quite a few years after '98. From my seat it looked as though a worrywort megalomaniac destroyed the balance of a national team in the weeks before the world's most important tourney. Will someone with some time and knowledge and sources make this article more balanced?

one can only speculate
What is a phrase like "one can only speculate" doing in a Wikipedia article?!?

I tend to agree with the comment above that this article seems rather partisan, perhaps violating NPOV. The "speculate" verbiage only adds to such NPOV violation appearances. I remember a lot of very negative press about Sampson, especially post 1998, but the article reads as if he remained a hero to all.

The information regarding the (alleged) reason for Harkes removal desperately needs a source. In fact, the entire article is woefully under-sourced. The unsourced allegations regarding Harkes may merit removal, but I have left them in for now. Moretz (talk) 13:49, 5 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Added citation regarding the reason for removal of Harkes. Page still needs sources and possibly NPOV cleanup. Moretz (talk) 14:15, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
